This advice seems off-base to me. There is value in LinkedIn connections. But you have to make the connections outside of LinkedIn. Then it amplifies the value of those connections--you can discover that so-and-so knows so-and-so and then ask for introductions.
It also may be industry specific. I'm a software engineer, and I've had several employment opportunities come from these connections.
